"Yes, the factory is about to start construction," Xu An said, opening the back door of the tractor's trailer and jumping onto the ground. He walked towards the area where the villagers of Hua'an Village were gathered, asking as he went, "Are you making grape juice?"
Before he could finish speaking, Xu An saw the pit dug directly from the ground, and the dirty, tattered grapes mixed with the soil by the wooden stick.
"This is..." Xu An's mind raced, and after much effort, he finally found an explanation for the situation before asking, "Is this how you fertilize your fields here?"
The village chief of Hua'an Village didn't reply, but instead nodded to the villagers. Upon receiving the signal, one villager immediately lifted a basket of large, round, high-quality grapes and poured them into the pit. Another villager immediately stirred the pit with a stick, causing the juice to splatter everywhere again.
Why----
Watching the villagers diligently pounding the grapes, the village chief of Hua'an Village sighed deeply before saying in a low, dejected voice, "Yes, these grapes can't be sold. They can only be used as fertilizer. They grew from the mud and are now buried back in the mud. It's fine, it's fine."
Li Sixin didn't respond, nor did he give Xu An a chance to speak. He asked directly, "Village Chief He, let's not bother with anything else. We're going to check out the big cellar over there in your village. Would you like to come along?"
"The cellar? It's been abandoned for many years, what are you going there for?" The village chief of Hua'an Village was distracted by Li Sixin's words and picked up on Li Sixin's words.
"Haha!" Li Sixin laughed loudly, then pointed at Xu An standing to the side and said, "Isn't this another big business deal that Boss Xu has brought us? Whether this deal will go through or not depends on how well this cellar works!"
Upon hearing the words "big business," the village chief of Hua'an Village's eyes lit up. Forgetting about using grapes to fertilize the fields, he rushed over and squeezed into the seat next to the driver. Then, he waved to Li Sixin and Xu An and shouted, "Come on, I'll lead the way!"
On the way to the large cellar near Hua'an Village, the village chief kept subtly probing Li Sixin about what the 'big business' he was talking about was, but Xu An and his companion just smiled and ignored him, moving on to a new topic.
This behavior drove the village chief of Hua'an Village to distraction, and he wished he could lock the two in a dark room and interrogate them to his heart's content.
Fortunately, the cellar in Hua'an Village was not far from the cellar in Hezibao, and with the speed boost from the tractor, the group quickly arrived at the cellar near Hua'an Village.
The cellar here is completely underground, with an entrance like a well, allowing only one person to pass at a time. Although the cellar is smaller than the one in Hezibao, it looks much newer.
As they looked through the cellars, more and more people appeared on the tractor. They learned from the village chief of Hua'an Village that Mr. Xu from Haishi had come because he had another big business deal with them, a deal that would require several cellars to complete.
These words sparked a flurry of speculation among the crowd.
"The first time Mr. Xu came, he bought mushrooms from Hezibao. The second time, he bought crops from Hezibao and many nearby villages. This third time, does he mean he's going to buy all our vegetables and fruits?"
"These days, what we've been harvesting are our fruits. In my opinion, it's because Mr. Xu's factory has started construction. Mr. Xu is looking for a place to store the products produced in advance."
"Impossible! These cellars are scattered everywhere, and the distance between them is quite far. If we put a little here and a bunch there, people would run themselves ragged. Impossible! Impossible!"
"But what else can this cellar be used for besides storing things?"
In my opinion...
“.”
After searching through all five cellars, everyone's attention turned to Xu An and Li Sixin, waiting for the two to reveal the mystery.
Seeing this, Xu An calmly took out his phone, smiled, and said, "Let me make a call first."
In fact, Xu An was already tempted when he received Lu Shengnan's call and heard that Niu Daben could settle the payment in one lump sum; later, after Li Sixin mentioned that there were many cellars in Hezibao that could store large amounts of grain, Xu An sent a message to Lu Shengnan, asking her to sign the order for Niu Daben.
Therefore, Xu An was merely putting on an act all along; the contract for the 100-ton potato deal had already been signed.
After all, Qingyan Provincial TV Station might not attend the groundbreaking ceremony for Xu's Catering Factory, but with this order for 100 tons of small potatoes, and the continued purchase of various agricultural products and cash crops for two months, can they really not come when the factory's groundbreaking ceremony is held?
It's hard to say about other cities, but in Hongshan Town, Honghe City, no other enterprise can match the contribution of Xu's Catering.
Now, Xu An walked several dozen meters away before slowly opening his contacts, dialing Lu Shengnan's number, and asking, "Shengnan, how's the deal for Niu Daben's 100 tons of potatoes going?"
“The contract has been signed. The 60,000 yuan I brought today is considered a deposit. After the remaining 190,000 yuan is paid tomorrow, the cooperation will be officially completed!” After Lu Shengnan finished answering, she quickly asked, “Boss, are you planning to find a cold storage in Honghe City to store it, or transport the small potatoes back to Haishi for storage? I’d like to make a contingency plan in advance.”
"I don't plan to rent cold storage," Xu An explained after making a lighthearted joke to Lu Shengnan.
